Many of the candidates showed relevant experience, poise, and conservative
values and temperament. However, there's no question the democrats will
have a heyday next November with any candidate who has ties of any kind to the
Swallow questions. A caretakership would give up all the possible advantages of
incumbency, likely leading to a democrat win. The republicans' best hope is
to elect an absolutely untainted and inspiring outsider who can clean house and
garner a year of stature in the office. A tall order indeed--but this is going
to be a tough year. Utah voters have proven plenty willing to elect democrat AGs
in the recent past.

I agree with cleaning house. Where were these folks when all the data went
missing? I don't recall hearing a thing.

The reasons to want someone as AG that is willing to face the voters next fall
out way this caretaker argument. There were 7 candidates that answered questions
tonight. A bit more on what was said and the 10 questions asked and answered by
each and the opening and closing remarks would have been good to cover.
